July 15, 2025

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for Rea’s sweet soppressata salami due to possible salmonella contamination.

The affected product is identified by its Universal Product Code 841571 042200. Consumers are urged to check for affected products and dispose of or return any items matching the listed UPC immediately.

The latest recall comes on the heels of a salmonella outbreak tied to pork deli meats sold at grocery stores and in prepared sandwiches.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said the infections are linked to Rea brand Genoa Salami Sweet, Rea brand Genoa Salami Hot and Bona brand Mild Genova Salam – which was recalled by the CFIA on June 10 in three provinces.

Since April, 84 people have gotten sick and there have now been nine hospitalizations, according to the PHAC.

As of July 11, 67 people are sickened in Alberta, 15 people in Ontario and one person in Manitoba. One illness reported in B.C. is related to travel to Alberta.
